R572.830 Leading for Discipleship - Reuben Munn 19-21 Aug 2027, 9 am - 5 pm, 21-23 Oct 2027, 9 am - 5 pm (LR4)

This course equips Christian leaders to cultivate intentional, transformative discipleship within their church communities and ministry settings. Students will explore the biblical vision of discipleship and develop a theologically informed understanding of how Christian communities are shaped by the Spirit into the increasing likeness of Christ. Drawing on historical and contemporary models of discipleship, as well as local case studies from diverse New Zealand churches, the curriculum will examine discipleship through a holistic, embodied and relational lens. The course culminates in students developing contextually appropriate discipleship strategies for their own church or ministry settings, sensitive to the socio-cultural landscape of Aotearoa. Break-out tracks in youth and adult discipleship enable focused application within specific ministry demographics.
